Customer Accuracy Expectations

50y sub .3 if mag fed, sub .2 if single loaded.
100y and 200y, I don’t really have enough experience with non-factory rifles to speak definitely. My Anschutz barreled Sako has fired numerous .5 groups @ 100m, so I can only guess a factory Anschutz would perform that well or better. Drawing on that, I’d expect a bit better from a custom build. I haven’t done a lot of testing at 200, preferring to play at 300-400(shooting to the limits of the range I have access to😉), but have a 40XB that didn’t seem to have issues holding 1” at 200 with a bunch of us watching my friend driving it. Again, that’s perhaps an exceptional factory gun, I dunno, it came from the CMP. You already know my Bergara had no issues shooting sub 3” groups at 300y, and at least one fellow who didn’t believe it possible later posted his own groups far tighter from a custom Rim-X, so there’s that. Attitude affects how we shoot, and not everyone has a test bed to eliminate human input, thus we have good days and bad. I think if you believe something isn’t possible, you may not see the best results.
I believe ammo today isn’t what it was even 20 years ago, but I believe rifles are far better. If the ammo can catch back up, maybe the grand days of exceptional mid grade fodder will get more of us out there tripping triggers!

I actually believe that current high end ammo is much better. They have improved bullet shape and the upper tier is more consistent. Back 20-30 years ago 100yrd accuracy was nowhere near as good as it is now.

Bankrupt Microsoft-Backed 'AI' Company Was Using Indian Engineers To Fake It:​

as Bloomberg reports they had a 'fake it till you make it' strategy while having inflated 2024 revenue projections by 300%. Instead of AI, the company was actually using a fleet of more than 700 Indian engineers from social media startup VerSe Innovation for years to actually write the code.

Do I need a 700 in my arsenal.

The only reason I can see for a R700 with all the options available today is if you are building an M40 or M24 clone. That's what I did and its the only reason I own one. Even kept the OEM trigger. I thought the M700 was the pinnacle of bolt action rifles because of the venerable old M40A1. Then I shot an FN SPR and thought: this is what the M40 should have be built on.

Or unless you have nostalgia for a classic deer rifle like a Remington 700 BDL. I love it's classic looks, but I'll never buy one unless it's a vintage make, a deal that I cannot pass up and just falls into my lap. I will not go shop for or pursue one.

As a basis for a modern, custom build, no.
